Anyone have a RB20det speedometer cable. Come to find out after i wire half my rb20 gauge cluster to work in place of the KA one that one has a cable speedo and one has a electric. I need the physical cable that connects to the transmission. The one on my transmission is cut so it is of no use. I really would like to use the whole rb gauge cluster if I could. The other option is to get another KA cluster harness, seeing as I have hacked mine to pieces, and just swap the tachs. I don't really want to do this so if anyone has a cable I can hit up please let me know.~ANDREW~

save yourself the time and just swap the tach over. Unless you don't mind cutting the firewall.

Yeah you can if you are using the 240 gauge cluster which I am not. I am using the RB gauge cluster which doesnt have the added wiring needed for the speedo sensor. Even if I swapped the speedometers I still dont think it would work.~ANDREW~

Still need the cable? I know I had one at one point...I don't remember if I threw it away or not though. If you still need it I'll go take a look around.

dont go through the firewall.not a good idea.best place to put it is to cut a hole in the transmission tunnel and run it in through there.cutting a hole near the gas pedal by the heater unit works well, thats where i put mine.then my cable broke where it connets to the cluster so ive got to run another cable there.
